Iranian and Israeli news outlets are reporting that Russia
has evacuated its entire staff of nuclear engineers and experts who
were working at the Bushehr nuclear reactor, increasing speculation
that the United States is preparing an imminent military attack on Iran.

According to the Khorramshar News Agency, which represents
ethnic Arabs in opposition to Ahmadinejad's regime who live near the
reactor, the Russians packed their bags and left on Friday.

DEBKAfile
offers three different scenarios to explain the sudden withdrawal of
the experts.

a) Russian-Iranian negotiations about how
work will proceed on Bushehr have again hit a roadblock. This
is highly unlikely because Vladimir Putin is set to visit Iran
later in the month to sign a set of nuclear accords.

b) The Russians have learned that an Iranian attack against
American interests in the Persian Gulf or Israel is imminent. This is
extremely doubtful because any preemptive Iranian attack would give
Israel and the U.S. the pretext they are desperately searching for to
launch a devastating bombing campaign.

c) Moscow or Tehran have been tipped off that an attack
on Iran's nuclear facilities is imminent and the Russians are getting
their people out of harm's way. This seems to be the most plausible
scenario, especially since
reports emerged Friday from numerous "unnamed" worldwide
intelligence sources that military action is just around the corner.

With every passing week, war rhetoric and maneuvering
escalates as an assault on Iran seems all but inevitable.

This past weekend, Former US ambassador to the United
Nations John Bolton said there was no alternative to a military option
and that plans should be enacted for a "limited strike against
their nuclear facilities."

Veteran newsman Seymour
Hersh reports that the Bush administration has switched targets
from Iran's nuclear facilities to instead target the Revolutionary Guard
in a series of planned "surgical" air strikes.

"During a video conference over the summer, Bush
allegedly told Ryan Crocker, the US ambassador to Iraq, that he was
considering striking Iranian targets across the border and that the
British "were on board," reports AFP.
